There's the duct I wrote about this morning...

...the Orbiter's side (taken from a Spacehab module). There's another one on the ISS.

From now on no complaints and jokes are allowed about prehistoric ducts all around Mir station...

Just under 1.5 hours until the T.I. burn. I'll take pictures and a small video (should it be available to see from the ISS) will be posted (as many viewers here like to see it).

Says he was born in North Yorkshire (which is where York/yours truely is). Says he considers London to be his English home, which figures as he's not got a Yorkshire accent (think actor Sean Bean from Lord of the Rings, for what a Yorkshire accent sounds like).

NCC Burn coming up in about 20 minutes.

The Beta Gimbal Assemblies are now in the process of locking on the US Segment (pre-cautionary step so they don't get fuel on them).

Commander Mark Kelly looking out of the windows:

The NCC targets have been loaded. Maybe we'll get to see this live on NASA TV!

Bit of a jolt!

Good burn!

That was stunning. You could see the flashes of the RCS thrusters out of the window. Bit of a jolt as Commander Kelly tapped the controls. Great view.
